Foreword
When I fi rst started working in accountancy the phrase ‘value billing’ was associated with unethical
behaviour. Everything was billed by the hour. But at the ti me there was a logic to that - aft er all, my
work was about 99% compliance! This Tax Club survey of best practi ce shows that, across the industry,
things are fi nally changing.
Firms nati onwide are working harder to help their clients minimise their tax liabiliti es and are billing in
line with the value of the work they are doing rather than simply based on how long it takes. But the
report also shows there is sti ll work to do with almost 40% of fi rms reporti ng no increase in the amount
of tax planning work they perform for their clients. Even more alarming is that over 70% of fi rms are
sti ll charging fees based on the ti me taken or expected rather than the value they are bringing to their
clients. This means 7 out of 10 accountants are billing the same for photocopying as they are for group
tax planning.
Throughout my career I have been associated with tools that help advisers do their jobs effi ciently
and producti vely. And I’m delighted that, as Chairman of the Tax Club, I am able to off er advisers a
range of products and support services to members to help them conti nue to get the most out of their
businesses. Tax Club members can hear me detailing some of the latest tax ti ps and news for free
through the Tax Club video library and our Essenti al Tax Update as well as discounts on TAXtv. And
of course you can buy some of the profi t maximising tools menti oned in this report through Absolute
Soft ware.
I hope you fi nd the report useful and look forward to seeing you soon.
